Former radio star Maz Compton reveals the single new age trend she swears by to de-stress fast, in the latest episode of our podcast Healthy-ish.

“Sally Fitzgibbons is sunshine,” says Melissa Shedden, editor of mybodyandsoul.com.au in the latest episode of Healthy-ish.

If you’ve ever wanted to know what celebrities are really like, she and co-host Maz Compton have the goods – comparing interview notes on the nice and not so nice ones.

Turns out, apart from smoothie-bowl sized amounts of energy, Maz and Sally, have one major thing in common – and it’s their love of earthing.

“It’s a household joke that me and my husband have and we call it grounding,” says Maz.

“From time to time I can get a little cranky, and sometimes be a little irate. If I am teetering on the edge my husband will say to me ‘you need to get grounded’ and I will walk myself across the road to the beach and take my shoes off. I’ll lay down in the park with my palms on the ground and the soles of my feet on the ground. I’ll lie there for a couple of minutes, and I’m not kidding you, I feel better,” she says.

A recent study published in the Journal of Environmental Public Health has shown that “reconnection with the Earth’s electrons has been found to promote intriguing physiological changes and subjective reports of wellbeing.”
